Oregon Football Performance Center

Football is back……and Chip Kelly might want to reconsider leaving the Ducks  to come to the Eagles after you see the spread that his former employer has on campus. A reported $68 million dollar renovation has the University of Oregon ducks facilities looking like the Star Trek Enterprise.  Just kidding Chip!  I'm definitely excited to see what he has in store for the Philadelphia Eagles with his fast paced offense and getting back to running the ball.  Something we never did with Andy.  I digress, back to the stadium facilities.  Watching the video will definitely have you rethinking what college is like for today's student athletes and money that's involved in the whole process. Oregon has recently taken marketing themselves to the next level with the multiple eye-catching uniforms,  helmets, their forest inspired basketball court, home of Tracktown US, and countless Nike and Jordan Oregon sneakers. Given that one of their most famous alumni, Phil Knight, heads the worlds biggest athletic brand, it's no secret he's donated substantial amounts to the school which allows it to offer facilities such as these…enjoy the tour!




Some of the amenities include:



  • The lobby has 64 55-inch televisions that can combine to project a single image.
  • The floor of the weight room is Brazilian hardwood.
  • There are custom foosball tables where one team is Oregon and the other team has 11 players, with each player representing a different Pac-12 team.
  • The players' lounge has six gaming stations.
  • There's a skybridge with an art installation of ducks. Each duck has the name of an Oregon player drafted by the NFL.
  • A "war room" with six 80-inch TVs.
  • A two-story meeting room with a window that overlooks Autzen Stadium.
  • A hydrotherapy tub in the coaches' locker room.
  • TVs are embedded in the mirrors of the coaches locker room.
  • A cafeteria with the words "EAT YOUR ENEMIES" in neon lights
  • Building consists of 145,000 square feet and 6 floors, 2 auditoriums
